I have been to the Depot many times and only a couple of those times were positive experiences. I asked for a specific drink and the bartender pretended she knows how to make it but it was NOT what I asked for. When I said something about it to my server, he didnt even acknowledge it- just took the drink away like I asked. Our food came out somewhat cold and the potato skins were missing the bacon. In the past, I had to bring my soda cup to the bar to get it refilled and many other times my glass has been empty for awhile before the server came back to check on us. The staff are clueless and not very helpful. They also dont seem to care about their job. They either need a new team or some major training otherwise they are going to go out of business. I love their food but not enough to go back there if I have a say in it. I recommend that you find a different place to eat if you are researching restaurants in Faribault. The Depot will not be worth your time or money.

12-28-2011 My family went their for my birthday for lunch. Only about 6-7 tables so it was not busy at all. Burgers were way overdone, lettuce was brown, tomato slice was old (one) was the size of a quarter and on onion ring wilted the size of a pinky ring. No kidding. We were waited on by a female which claimed to be the manager. She took our order had a very bad attitude and never checked on us once during the entire meal. When my wife and I asked to speak to the manager, she said she was the manager. We told her about our poor service, over cooked burgers and poor quality of the lettuce, tomato and onion, she told us she would tell the cook. No apology, did not care, at all. We would never go back and eat here nor recommend to anyone at all. Really bad food and service that was worst we had in a very long time.

For a good sit down burger and fries, I cant think of a better place inside Faribault city limits. Montes Steakhouse has a slight edge in terms of atmosphere, but only slight, and I find the Depot to be a better value when it comes to the food. I will take either restaurant any day against generic competitors like TGI Fridays or Chilis. For conversation, beware being out on the patio, as the trains still run about 10 away (the kids really love this!), and are not infrequent. The only stinkers I have had at the Depot have been Mexican style food like the lunch burrito plate. Service has been uniformly good. Nothing exceptional, but competent and without any significant problems.

We frequent the Depot, about twice a week as a matter of fact! We love that the Chef starts with fresh product for all of his dishes! We cant get enough of the Cheese Curds, of course they dont have far to travel....were told they are made right at Faribault Dairy! Yummy! We go in on Friday nights for the all you can eat Walleye, amazing! Our service has always been exceptional, we are recognized and acknowledged by all of our favorites! Its nice to go in to a restaurant and they know what youll be eating and drinking before you even sit down. We love bringing out of town guests in because we know Chef Jeff will stand behind his food! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!

May, 17, 2010 We have always been happy with our food at The Depot, but we were very disappointed when we stopped there for supper on May 16th. Our supper was good and we decided to have a piece of strawberry pie for dessert. We were served a SMALL strawberry tart and charged $3.99!!!! Our mistake was not asking the price when we were served the dessert. We would have returned it at that point if we had known it was going to cost that much! We really felt we were overcharged and because of that, it has changed how we feel about eating at your restaurant. I am sorry to say, we wont be stopping there, again.

2/21/2015 We went out for our anniversary, I ordered a ribeye and shrimp my wife ordered shrimp breaded. My steak couldnt of been 14 oz it was about one quarter to a third inch thick. I ordered it medium rare, they couldnt get this thin steak cooked right because its too thin to make it medium rare. Could cook it with a hair dryer in 15 seconds. My wife got her shrimp and it was shrimp scampi she ordered breaded, so I started eating while she waited for her food. It was a bad experience and ruined our anniversary. I dont know if Ill ever go back.

Great food!!! We went with another couple and we enjoyed our meals so much! We started with a combo appetizer platter (cheese curds were super good). The girls ordered the triple berry chicken salad...what a great combination of blue cheese crumbles, candied pecans, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries!!!! Yummy! The guys ordered walleye tacos and a fruit plate with chicken salad...both were a big thumbs up. It was definitely worth trying the fried ice cream and molten lava cake also! We were not disappointed!

Food came cold so we sent it back. Another server returned with it after 10 minutes. Chicken was rewarmed (not hot...warmed) and gnocchi was still cold. All we were told was "sorry" even though both servers were alerted by us that it still wasnt hot. We left the cold food on the plate and paid our bill & left. We were never offered any other options or any compensation for the cold food. No one attempted to fix the problem after even telling them the second time that it was still cold. We wont be back!

Absolutely amazing! The burgers are delicious and always cooked to my expectations, the food is just amazing. Can be very busy especially for dinner, but the servers are on top of their sections with a huge smile ready for you to feel welcomed! There is so much history on this Bar & Grill and I couldnt be more amazed everytime the train goes by! Great atmosphere to be in and wonderful food!

We had a groomsmen dinner to host. We where instructed to pick out a couple menu options for guests.(there suggestion) we asked for them to email never heard anything. Second call asked to email menu nothing. 3rd times a charm? Ha nope! Dont bother apparently 1000 dollars in a couple hours is not worth the little work they may have to do:) go somewhere else..

Depot Bar & Grill is our favorite restaurant! We have never been disatisfied. They have a huge menu, and we have yet to find anything we havent loved. We love the Cajun burger, and they always have amazing specials. Not only is the food great, but the staff is friendly. You can tell they want to make your dining experience enjoyable.

Had myself the Black Russian. It was really a good sandwich. The pastrami was excellent and not dry.. The rye bread was fresh and the whole order was out within 10 mins.. I would stop in again. If you dont enjoy great food for a little bit more money... Dont come. Just a little on the pricier side. SMOKE CIGRITS
